PHP Sandbox

The sandbox action provides a simple way to write PHP code which gets directly executed on the server. This can be useful if you want to build fast a first prototype endpoint. The following shows a simple action which returns all data from the request.

Configuration​

php_sandbox

Code​

The PHP code which gets executed.

<?php

$id = $request->get('id'); // returns a path or query parameter
$payload = $request->getPayload(); // returns the request payload
$arguments = $request->getArguments(); // returns all available arguments as array

// returns a configured connection, in case of a SQL connection this returns a doctrine DBAL instance which you could
// now use to query the database
//$connection = $connector->getConnection('mysql');

return $response->build(200, [], [
    'id' => $id,
    'uriFragments' => $arguments,
    'payload' => $payload,
]);

Please take a look at our PHP API to get a complete overview about all available functions.

Note at the sandbox action we use for security reasons also a sandbox which allows you to use only specific whitelisted functions and classes. Please take a look at the Sandbox component for more information. In general if your logic is more complex it is recommended to develop a custom action.
